Stop Staring!

Stop Staring has been a favorite vintage reproduction line for quite a while. I think because they carry a lot of "pin up" styles, something that is particularly difficult to find with vintage clothing. So when they contacted me and asked if I wanted to try out on of their dresses, I jumped at the chance!

They sent me my favorite, the Billion Dollar dress in red, and as soon as I put it on I could see why it was named that! It really is the most perfect red dress, and has all the elements I love in a dress.

Wow! I mean,....just WOW! I think that is my favorite dress on you yet, it's stunning!I own a Stop Staring dress myself, and am absolutely in love with it, and every time I wear it I feel like a million dollar woman too :)

You look lovely, to be sure! But I have a major beef with the quality of their fabric and construction-I have altered three different Stop Staring dresses for friends over time and I am so disappointed with both. Maybe it's just me, but I would never pay that much for a dress I could make myself in a much better fabric. (Plus I can't stand stretch bengaline anyway-it feels tacky to me.) I certainly do understand the appeal, though-your curves look fabulous in that dress! Jenny

you look so amazingly pretty... and you have the most astonishing waist to hips ratio that I've ever seen :) my friends often ask me if I were a corset at night because my waist is 23 inches, but you look better than me with those wonderful hips of yours :)Lady in Red <3

You look stunning, Solanah! I just love the bodice details and draping; it really makes the dress unique. I've been eyeing Stop Staring dresses for ages and still haven't bought one. I might just have to check them out (like I need another dress... haha!).
